July 28, 2008 Obama deals with sore hip Play video

(NECN: Chicago, Illinois) - Barack Obama saw a doctor Sunday night to deal with a sore hip. The Illinois senator's hip has been sore from basketball for a few weeks, so he's going to see an orthopedic doctor.

Obama is a lifelong basketball player and at one stop during his overseas trip, he shot baskets with U.S. troops in Kuwait.

In this video, Senator Obama is seen leaving the University of Chicago Medical Center, Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine at 9:48 pm Eastern Time last night.

Reporters shouted questions and he answered from afar.

"Just fine. "Small x rays, Everything's okay."

"Its all good. Just a little injury... basketball injury."

"But I think I'm going to be good in about a week."
